Calendar: ‘The 39 Steps,’ ‘Five Course Love’ and more

What do the shows “Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps” and “Five Course Love” have in common? They both feature a handful of actors portraying a lot more characters than the original sum of actors. . . if that makes sense.

The touring version of Hitchcock’s 1935 classic is “a goofball treat” according to Express-News theater badass, name-taker Deborah Martin. Read her first impressions here. The cast of four play dozens of characters. The show continues at the Majestic Theatre through Sunday.

Over at the Cameo Theatre, five actors portray 15 characters who go on a bunch of dates in “Five Course Love,” which continues through Feb. 28.

That’s “Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps” and “Five Course Love.” Continue for more weekend options and beyond. As always, these listings are compiled by Stefanie Arias, aka “From Stefanie With Love.”
